<output>: The Output element

This element includes the global attributes.

for

A space-separated list of other elements' ids, indicating that those elements contributed input values to (or otherwise affected) the calculation.

form

The <form> element to associate the output with (its form owner). The value of this attribute must be the id of a <form> in the same document. (If this attribute is not set, the <output> is associated with its ancestor <form> element, if any.)

This attribute lets you associate <output> elements to <form>s anywhere in the document, not just inside a <form>. It can also override an ancestor <form> element.

name

The element's name. Used in the form.elements API.

The <output> value, name, and contents are NOT submitted during form submission.

In the following example, the form provides a slider whose value can range between 0 and 100, and an <input> element into which you can enter a second number. The two numbers are added together, and the result is displayed in the <output> element each time the value of any of the controls changes.

<form oninput="result.value=parseInt(a.value)+parseInt(b.value)">
  <input type="range" id="b" name="b" value="50" /> +
  <input type="number" id="a" name="a" value="10" /> =
  <output name="result" for="a b">60</output>
</form>

Many browsers implement this element as an aria-live region. Assistive technology will thereby announce the results of UI interactions posted inside it without requiring that focus is switched away from the controls that produce those results.
